Vyšný Medzev
Vyšný Medzev (german: Obermetzenseifen; hu, Felsőmecenzéf) is a village and municipality of Košice-okolie District in the Košice Region of eastern Slovakia. It is one of several towns in Bodva Valley. Other towns in Bodva Valley include: Jasov, Lucia Bania, Medzev (Metzenseifen), and Stos. History Origins The Settlers It seems almost a certainty, that the farmers, especially those from Thuringia from “Das Dörfl”, moved to Vyšný Medzev ("Upper Metzenseifen"), or then named german: Obermetzenseifen, during the first lineage of farmers and as a minority compared to the miners, whose home lies in the Bodwa Valley in Medzev, or then known as german: Metzenseifen. Until 1427, there was a mere mention of a town in the Jasov monastery's documents (Kauer, J. et al. 1986). It is no wonder then, that the Premonstratensian Order—the "white" fathers—assumed religious control of this area. They favored the "Obere Ort" most likely due to the good relationship between th ...

Carpathian Germans
Carpathian Germans (german: Karpatendeutsche, Mantaken, hu, kárpátnémetek or ''felvidéki németek'', sk, karpatskí Nemci) are a group of ethnic Germans. The term was coined by the historian Raimund Friedrich Kaindl (1866–1930), originally generally referring to the German-speaking population of the area around the Carpathian Mountains: the Cisleithanian (Austrian) crown lands of Galicia and Bukovina, as well as the Hungarian half of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy (including Szepes County), and the northwestern ( Maramuresch) region of Romania. Since the First World War, only the Germans of Slovakia (the Slovak Germans or ''Slowakeideutsche'', including the Zipser Germans) and those of Carpathian Ruthenia in Ukraine have commonly been called ''Carpathian Germans''.

Feudalism
Feudalism, also known as the feudal system, was the combination of the legal, economic, military, cultural and political customs that flourished in medieval Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries. Broadly defined, it was a way of structuring society around relationships that were derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labour. Although it is derived from the Latin word ''feodum'' or ''feudum'' (fief), which was used during the Medieval period, the term ''feudalism'' and the system which it describes were not conceived of as a formal political system by the people who lived during the Middle Ages. The classic definition, by François Louis Ganshof (1944), François Louis Ganshof (1944). ''Qu'est-ce que la féodalité''. Translated into English by Philip Grierson as ''Feudalism'', with a foreword by F. M.

Dialectology
Dialectology (from Greek , ''dialektos'', "talk, dialect"; and , ''-logia'') is the scientific study of linguistic dialect, a sub-field of sociolinguistics. It studies variations in language based primarily on geographic distribution and their associated features. Dialectology treats such topics as divergence of two local dialects from a common ancestor and synchronic variation. Dialectologists are ultimately concerned with grammatical, lexical and phonological features that correspond to regional areas. Thus they usually deal not only with populations that have lived in certain areas for generations, but also with migrant groups that bring their languages to new areas (see language contact). Commonly studied concepts in dialectology include the problem of mutual intelligibility in defining languages and dialects; situations of diglossia, where two dialects are used for different functions; dialect continua including a number of partially mutually intelligible dialects; and pluric ...
